Skinny Land

Dr. Louis J. Aronne, author of The Skinny on Losing Weight gives 5 tips which are useful and easy to follow:

1. Fill up in the a.m.

 Start your day off right by eating lean protein like egg whites. The protein will keep you satisfied and curb cravings for the rest of the day. As for calories in egg whites, do not worry about it, egg whites are pretty low in calories, but they are high in protein.

2. Always save dessert for last

To prevent overindulging, fill up on healthy veggies and proteins before you splurge on sweet treats.

3. Indulge, but watch portions

Do not deny yourself sweets altogether, just limit your intake to about 100 calories (or three bites).

4. Avoid starvation mode

Eating fiber-rich foods like broccoli will help you feel full longer, so you will be less likely to overeat.

5. Use the scale as your guide

 Do not be afraid to step on the scale. By monitoring your weight, you can track your progress or see when you need to make changes.

 A celebrity medical doctor has a 3-step plan PLUS a secret weapon in your battle of the bulge. Celebrity M.D. Fred Pescatore, author of the New York Times best-selling book, The Hamptons Diet, recommends that you follow three main points for diet success in 2010:

1.Don’t set your goals too high.

2.Don’t try to kick off your weight loss goal by initially seeking to exercise AND lose weight at the same time, says Dr. Pescatore: “Choose one, master it, and then go to the other.”

3.”No white bread, no white pasta. If it’s white, don’t eat it, Dr. Pescatore recommends.

And that secret weapon?  “Macadamia nut oil has been proven to speed up your metabolism by up to 10 percent.  So it’s like going to the gym without going,” says the doctor.

Dr. Pescatore also says that “mac oil” is heart healthier than olive oil, adding “Anything olive oil can do. Mac oil does 30 percent better.”
